Roy KS1001 Kinda Special Jeans - 36" UNWORN DEADSTOCK
These jeans were bought new by me in 2014. I was saving them for the future. Since then my weight has changed and they won't fit properly. I have 5 pairs all in identical New Old Stock condition.
They were $340 new and won't ever be available again.

Thanks again to everyone that expressed interest in a world tour, and to anyone else who might be interested, let me know! There's still room. These are a tag size 30, but fit like a 31 standard tapered in most brands.
Just mailed the jeans to Holio Cornholio in the UK. After him, it will either head to louisbosco in Australia or to the North America contingent. If anyone in Europe is interested, might be best to speak up quickly so the pair can stay in that hemisphere a little while longer.
Here is the original interest thread, including details on the fit plus some pictures, as well as links with details on the model and Roy's page about the denim.
Measurements at the start of the journey:
Roy BB1002, tag size 30
Waist: 31-31.5"
Thigh: 12"
Knee: 8.25"
Hem: 7.75"
Inseam: 33.75" (original)
Front rise: 11"
Back rise: 15-15.25"
Current participant list:
Holio Cornholio (UK)
cungster (Singapore)
louisbosco (I dunno, frankly, he seems to be everywhere - EDIT: Perth, apparently)
chicote (west Canada)
wolfofthesea (west Canada)
Hendsch (west US)
guthriegking (west US)
andrewrose (mountain US)
unorthodox (southeast US)
ReverendGlasseye (central US)
Mandel9000 (North of the Wall)
FeloniousMonk (NYC)

EDIT: Measurements for both pairs are at the bottom of this post. Fit pics and denim comparison pictures are at the bottom of the page.
Running list of everyone who expressed interest thus far is near the top of page 2 - Currently at 7 people in for a Roy tour and 5 in for Boncoura. I'll leave this up for a few more days to see if anyone else might sign up, then choose whichever pair had the most volunteers. Happy Halloween weekend, everyone!
So a couple recent discussions in the Boncoura and Roy threads have bemoaned the lack of information on our forum about how the denims fade over time (and in the case of Roys, some skepticism about whether the fades turn out that nicely). I've actually been thinking about a potential world tour for a while, so I'm not just sitting here on a pile of unworn denim like a dragon avariciously guarding his indigo hoard, and this seems like a perfect opportunity to help the community learn a bit more about the denim while also getting to see the fades that I don't have time to make myself.
Hopefully we can spread the love around, perhaps let our European and Asian compatriots experience the amazing handiwork of Roy without having to pay outrageous import duties. Or finally see a pair of Boncoura 66 denim from raw through deep fading before they start to become more widely available stateside and through Europe.
Details on the potential pairs (Note: edited the fit description for Boncouras on Oct 18)
Roy Big Bro Round Two (BB1002), size 30
First model made with his new Black Seed denim (a Cone collaboration) that is now his banner denim
High-mid rise fit with a trim waist, roomy top block, and mild taper through the leg
Interesting pocket and rivet details, see the link above for more
Boncoura 66, size 32
Boncoura's signature denim, slightly irregular with super rich indigo color, reportedly a fairly fast fader
High-mid rise fit with larger waist but similar hip measurements to the Roys, wide thighs and mild taper. Nearly identical fit to the Roys aside from having a larger waistband.
Details are standard, but quite well-done from the patch to the rivets and sewing throughout (though 60s model => no hidden rivets)
Both pairs of jeans are pretty much new. I've worn the Roys for one or two days, and the Boncouras for one (maybe not even that). The one thing I have to apologize for is overconditioning the Boncoura patch, as only a one-wash pair was available and I tried to restore the dried-out post-wash patch to the glorious state of the raw pairs I've seen.
I will add a couple more posts to this thread with some comparison pictures of the denim and details, plus measurements.
If people have interest in a tour with one of these pairs, I would prefer to keep it to forum regulars (or semi-regulars) for hopefully understandable reasons. So how about it, is there any interest in showing these pairs some love around the world?
EDIT
Sorry about the delay. GF and I both have colds, so a quick stop for errands last night turned into watching a bit of Westworld and taking Nyquil turned into goodbye world.
I had the chance to take both pairs out for measuring and trying each on quickly, and realized I was mistaken when I described the fits in my original post. The Boncouras are not actually a lower rise, but instead just feel like a lower rise to me because they are close-fitting through the hips but have room around my waist.
The upshot of these jeans is that both pairs have almost identical fit. The major difference is that the top block of the Roys tapers slightly above the hips to a trimmer waistband, and that it has a longer inseam. From the butt down, these jeans have virtually the same fit. The larger knee measurement means the Boncouras do appear to have a slightly fuller leg, but it's minimal. Will try to take a couple fit shots tonight to illustrate the point.
Here are the measurements for both pairs, taken BiG style.
Roy BB1002, size 30
Waist: 31-31.5"
Thigh: 12"
Knee: 8.25"
Hem: 7.75"

Back rise: 15-15.25"

Thigh: 12"
Knee: 8.75"
Hem: 7.75"
Inseam: 30" (original)
Front rise: 11.25"

Got some Roy All Ducks that I've gotten to big for. $150
Tagged Size 31 (one of 8 pairs that were made in this size)
Not much wear, but some indigo staining on the waist band - from my belt- thats hidden by a belt. All measurements taken the Self Edge way, hemmed at Self Edge PDX.
One photo showing the indigo bleed, DM me for more photos.
Waist: 30.5
Rise: 11.5
Thigh: 9.5
Knee: 7.5
Leg: 7
Inseam: 30
Also got some Strike Gold 1109 in a Tagged Size 33. $85
Waist still fits me well, but have gotten too tight for my liking. Definitely worn more than the Roy's, and have been repaired once in the crotch at Self Edge PDX, but still have plenty of life left to beat out of them.
I have one photo in natural light to show what the wear looks like, but you can DM me for more photos also.
Waist: 32.5
Rise: 10
Thigh: 10
Knee: 7.75
Leg: 7
Inseam: 30
Edited: to add price.

Added Iron Heart 301S Prices lowered on the other two.
$320 - IRON HEART 301S Size 30. Bought from Self Edge LA last fall. I wore them twice all day around the house, once to shovel snow in last winter, twice to band practice and once to play a show in (no sweat). 6 times total. Hemmed at Self Edge. I stopped wearing these over the summer and lost weight and now theyre too big. I sized down to a 29. As you can see there is very minimal wear on them. These are not the new batch with the selvedge outseam on the leg.

Selling a pair of Roy RN01 Jeans. Theyre tagged size is 30, which also happens to be their actual size. See measurements: 15" waist 9" front rise 13.5" back rise 11" thigh 8" knee 7.25" leg opening 28" inseam They were chainstitched at Self Edge to a 28 inseam because im short and didnt want to rock a cuff on them. They were hot soaked once for about 30 minutes and air dried. Worn between 5-8 times and have been sitting in the bottom of my dresser for a year. Time to pass them along. As you can see theres virtually no wear on them (the smallest of fade over the hidden rivet on the back pocket)

ROY RN04 Size 36
Length hemmed to 34 inches.
Measurement:
Waist - 34 inches
(measured as selfedge does, not aligning waist bands)
(BIG method: around 34,5 inches)
Length: 31,7 - with a bit of wear around 32"
They should stretch to around 35 with wear if pressure
is applied. Besides that, they should fit a 34" waist fine.
They have been soaked twice and cold washed without spinning cycle.
Reason for selling: They, unfortunately, do not fit me in the top block.
I would want 195 US$ | 150â‚¬
Please PM me and I will tell you what shipping would cost.
(estimated: Germany - around 5 Euros, Europe - around 12 Euros)
Paypal preferred.

I bought these boots back in July of last year. They're slightly worn, but still in excellent condition. The leather part of the sole has been replaced by a crepe sole. The laces are still the original ones. Alden box and shoe bags are included.
